The look on Frodo’s face when he tells Sam he can be a Jedi is one of the most homoerotic and at the same time demeaning looks I have ever seen. I know it’s from the movies, and Elijah Wood just looks like that in the movies, but it’s just freaky seeing it frozen forever in a comic.

Regardless, Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas have been taking names and kicking Orc for decades; the four hobbits have been smoking pipeweed and drinking beer for years… I know which character I’d rather play. And which one I’d rather be. :D

Uh… I thought the Star Wars re-edit was pretty clear. Of course Han shot first. Greedo was holding a gun, pointed at Han’s chest from a distance of maybe 18 inches. The only way to miss at that range is by having your aim thrown off by a severe distraction – like, say, a blaster being fired into your torso :D

IIRC (29 years ago!?), in the original Star Wars, Han was the *only* one who shot. In one reedit, Guido shot first and in the next reedit, they both shot at the same time. I don’t remember how it is on the DVD version.

In the original, Han shot because Greedo was threatening him. It was clearly defining Han as a man with whom not to f***. Having Greedo shoot first made him seem terribly incompetant. Having him shoot at all diminishes Han’s attitude to a person who will give you a chance, but will outdraw you when push comes to shove.

In our group, the relative success is how long the GM has ideas for new adventures, quests, plots, and stuff. It more often than seldom ends with players begging on their bare knees for the GM to write another session worth of material. =P

Every time I played Star Wars it seems I was the only one who didn’t want to play a Jedi!

One game the dm suggested we all run jedi and I asked to play the pilot after all, all those points just to make a Jedi (d6 rules) surely meant my character would have beefed up abilities… nope well at least when the dm had his jedi npc mindwipe my character I found a way round the railroad!

Still wonder why any other game i hear about they’re screaming to play sith characters!

Eh, Greedo was plenty badass. He just wanted the “Alive” bounty on Han, and underestimated how much Han didn’t want to talk to Jabba, figuring he could just bully him into coming along. Remember at that point, Jabba really did just want to talk to Han and remind him about the money he owed. He didn’t want revenge until Han ditched him for Luke and hid on Hoth for a couple years.
